Beauty Deal Alert: Clinique 7- or 10-Piece Gift With Purchase

Like countless others, I am on the Clinique Black Honey bandwagon. It is such a flattering shade. For years, I’ve been buying it at Sephora and waiting to earn enough points for one tiny sample. Then I remembered that department store beauty counters do gifts with purchase and now my lipstick earns me a whole bag of goodies. Sorry, Sephora.

Beauty lovers, pay attention: Through October 9th (or whenever supplies run out) you can score a pretty spectacular—as in, you’ll look pretty and spectacular—free gift with purchase at the Macy’s Clinique counter.

The base gift (free with a $28 purchase) includes one of two color sets. I went with the Sunset option, which features: a large Jonathan Adler cosmetics bag; Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+; Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief; High Impact Mascara in Black; Clinique Happy Perfume; a Jonathan Adler mini compact with the All About Shadow Duo in Like Mink and Blushing Blush Powder Blush in Sunset Glow; and Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Super Strawberry.

If you spend $55 or more you get the 7-piece set plus your choice of an added bonus. I didn’t actually spend that much but the Clinique counter was DEEPLY understaffed when I visited and they gave it to me as an apology for the extra long wait. Talk about great customer service! I went with the lipstick duo bonus, which includes: a small Jonathan Adler cosmetics bag; Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Punch Pop; and Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Plum Pop. See all the lip colors swatched below. (That isn’t glitter—it’s just somewhat shiny and was catching the flash.)
